    i know where you're coming from, vespa.

    i think part of the reason that it seems we (eg: women) are oblivious to the testosterone fumes is that any sort of sexism always has overtones of violence, so we're kind of used to getting that same adrenaline nausea that you lot (eg: men) associate with violence from much less overtly violent situations (eg: catcalls). which, to be fair, represent a realtime physical threat for us. and our intolerance of that - our generation having been raised by the original card-carrying, bra-burning feminists - is an index of our maturity as a society. so we ought to culivate it.

    the same, naturally, goes for chavs bottling people in the street (provoked by loudmouthed gfs or otherwise)
